From Romans 5:1-11, we glean four reasons as to why Jesus had to die on a cross:
1- Jesus had to die on a cross so that we may have peace with God (Rom. 5:1-2a)
2- Jesus had to die on a cross so that we may experience the hope of the glory of God through Christlikeness (Rom. 5:2b-5)
3- Jesus had to die on a cross so that we may know the love of God (Rom. 5:6-8)
4- Jesus had to die on a cross so that we may flee the wrath of God through reconciliation (Rom. 5:9-11)
